lkm(4) ended up in (4) doubtless because of this:
crw-r----- 1 root kmem 28, 0 Dec 27 2007 /dev/lkm
and although there's some precedent for other kernel-related but
non-syscall phenomena appearing in section 4, I agree that 7 is
probably better.
more important question: shouldn't /dev/lkm be tagged obsolete?
